Chapter 837: Zuo Hancheng’s Wounds (1)
Suddenly, someone ran in from outside.”Something’s happened-”
Only then did An Ping shift her gaze away from Anhao. She turned to look at the servant who had suddenly run in from the back door. She recognized that it was the servant from Anxin’s room and asked directly,”What happened? Why are you so panicked?”
However, the servant suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the dining room was a little unusual. Although she did not know what was unusual, she clearly felt that she seemed to have disturbed something.
However, even if she had disturbed him, the servant did not dare to neglect him. She only said anxiously with red eyes,”Sister Ping, after Miss returned to her room, she suddenly took out her luggage and said that she wanted to run away from home and return to the orphanage. She said that there was no place for her here and even said that Sister Ping had never treated her as a daughter, so she might as well leave. In short, Miss cried very sadly and packed two big boxes of things.”
Anhao couldn’t understand why the servants called An Ping Sister Ping so intimately and didn’t seem to have much of a difference between master and servant. However, when she heard that Anxin suddenly started to run away from home, her eyes immediately looked at An Ping.
An Ping also looked at Anhao, like Anhao, choose to take the opportunity to explain Anhao in those years, or choose to look at peace of mind.
Anhao was also looking at her, and she could see the obvious struggle in An Ping’s eyes.
Suddenly, Anhao chuckled and stood up.””Auntie An, I accidentally bumped into so many family matters on my first visit to the An family. It doesn’t seem appropriate for me to stay here now. I’ll go back to my room first.”
After saying that, Anhao turned around and walked out.
As soon as I walked outside, I saw a small building not far from the hall. The lights on the second floor were bright. The windows were open. From time to time, I heard the voices of servants blocking and coaxing me to be at ease. From time to time, I heard the cries of grievances.
Anhao stood in front of the door and looked in that direction. She thought of the five years she spent in the Gu family. She thought of the cold, small room that didn’t even have any heat in the winter. When the small room would leak in the summer, she was afraid that her mother’s portrait would be drenched by the rain. She hugged her mother’s portrait and sat in the corner of the hard bed, silently counting the time in the damp room.
Then, he saw Anxin suddenly pulling open the curtains in agitation as she cried. She walked to the balcony and threw down a pile of miscellaneous clothes, dolls, and many other things that girls liked. Every single one of them was extremely expensive.
Anhao recalled the time when she was wearing those cheap clothes under Gu Shishi’s sarcastic gaze. She remembered how Gu Shishi deliberately stepped on the clothes she did not like to wear before throwing them to her. It was so dirty that even after washing, it would not look like the clothes from before. She remembered that she would often open the book and take a look at the dried blue ice in the book as if it was her most precious toy. It was as if her mother was by her side, and everything between her mother and daughter when she was young was still there…
The servant ran up to the balcony to persuade Anxin to stop crying. However, Anxin saw a servant coming over and was crying on the balcony as she made a gesture to jump down from the second floor.
He was really good at acting.
Looking at this scene, Anhao suddenly curled her lips coldly.
When he was sixteen, he was beaten by the Gu family’s mother and daughter with a vase until his ribs were broken. The scene of him being pushed down from the second floor by a servant was still in front of him. Compared to this scene, it was really ironic.
Just as Anhao was about to turn around and walk away, she heard Anping’s footsteps coming from behind her. Anping didn’t go to Anhao immediately. Instead, when she walked to Anhao’s side, she felt the coldness emanating from Anhao.
Anhao stood there quietly with her back facing her.
“The Andersons are not as peaceful as you think. Child, these… I’ve made a fool of myself in front of you.” An Ping said softly behind her,”Go back and rest.”
Anhao smiled coldly and turned to look at Anping. While the servants were nervously running towards Anxin’s balcony, she looked at Anping’s face and spoke in a very, very soft voice that seemed like it could be blown away by the wind.
“For so many years, you left your biological daughter in China. Have you ever felt uneasy?”Anhao’s voice was very, very soft and very faint.
The moment An Ping looked at her in shock, Anhao smiled coldly again and turned to leave without saying another word.
However, An Ping stood where she was and looked at the child who obviously hated her. She stood in the dark outside the hall and did not move for a long time, as if she did not hear the crying coming from Anxin not far away.
Anxin had seen An Ping there long ago. According to her mother’s usual love for her, she should have chased after her when she was so angry that she left the dining room. She coaxed and doted on herself. She couldn’t bear to see her suffer any grievances.
Her mother had given her so much maternal love for so many years. Even if Old Master and Old Madam had never truly acknowledged her as their granddaughter, because of Anping’s love for her, her status as the daughter of the An family had long been established. In the past eight years, everything had been established!
But today, her mother actually ignored her! He just let her run back to her room alone!
She thought of the man she had met in the hospital who she had fallen in love with at first sight. However, Old Master had scolded her in front of him and even said that she was about to dig into the ground. Her mother actually did not speak up for her and did not chase after her in the end.
Anxin was getting angrier and angrier, which was why she had made such a huge commotion in the room. She ran to the balcony and saw that her mother had already come out, but she acted as if she hadn’t heard her voice. She said something to the girl who had appeared at the An family’s house for some reason, and then she just stood there silently, as if she had suddenly become a different person.
Anxin made a ruckus for a long time without any results. The servants were afraid that she would really cause trouble. Moreover, there were guests at home, so they directly pulled her back to the room and closed the window.
Anxin was tired from crying. She suddenly got up and walked to the window. She looked out through the window and saw her mother still standing there.
Anxin looked at her in confusion and then turned to look in the direction that the girl had left in. She felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Her mother had always been a very indifferent person. Although the servants in the An family respected her very much, her mother had always asked the servants to call her Sister Ping. Moreover, her mother rarely paid attention to others.
She had come to the Andersons for so many years because her mother loved her wholeheartedly and finally let go of her initial caution and fear. Moreover, it was because her mother’s attention was always on her.
But now, her mother was ignoring her, and her emotions were being controlled by another girl. Anxin looked out the window unhappily, and when she thought of that girl’s face, her heart skipped a beat.
